How a Hypercar Fanatic Created the Ultimate Yin-Yang Garage with Pininfarina's Electric Marvels
In a breathtaking display of bespoke automotive artistry, a hypercar enthusiast has achieved a feat that sets a new bar for custom luxury vehicles. This individual, the owner of one of the rare Battista Anniversario models by Automobili Pininfarina, decided that owning one masterpiece wasn't enough. Thus, the birth of its alter ego, the Reversario, came to fruition, marking a pioneering moment in the realm of exclusive hypercars.
Owning the fifth and final model of the Battista Anniversario wasn't the end of the journey for this passionate collector, but rather the beginning. The idea of creating a mirror image of his prized possession led to the commissioning of the Reversario - a one-off model that defies the norms and showcases the zenith of customization in the hypercar world.
The Battista Anniversario celebrated Automobili Pininfarina's 90th year in grand style, limiting its beauty to just five units worldwide. With its remarkable design and groundbreaking electric powertrain, it was a tribute to innovation and heritage. Yet, for this devoted collector, having a unique piece wasn't enough. There was a vision of creating something even more extraordinary - a twin model with specifications exactly opposite to the Anniversario.
The design of the Reversario is a testament to the harmonious blend of technology and aesthetics. Its main body and the intricate five-spoke wheels shine in Bianco Sestiere gloss, contrasted sharply by the Grigio Antonelliano gloss on the upper parts. The duo-tone finish is accentuated by an iconic Iconica Blu stripe, with matching accents elegantly placed around the bodywork. This visual allure is further enhanced by a unique badge positioned on the underside of the car's active rear spoiler, along with the Reversario lettering etched on the carbon side wings, creating a stunning visual symmetry with its twin.
Inside, the Reversario continues to mirror its counterpart inversely, with a light-themed interior that makes use of white Alcantara and leather upholstery against the black-themed Anniversario. Details in Iconica Blu are found in the perforation, the seatbelts, and various inserts throughout the cabin, including the exclusive Reversario badge, beautifully situated between the seats. To accompany this rare vehicle, Pininfarina also designed a three-piece luggage set, embracing the black and Iconica Blu theme with white Alcantara quilt, blending luxury and functionality seamlessly.
Underneath its stunning exterior lies unchanged the heart of the beast. Powered by technology from the Rimac Nevera, the quad electric motors deliver an astonishing 1,877 horsepower, propelling the Reversario from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 1.86 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h, combining unmatched aesthetics with exhilarating performance.
The owner's vision was to create a duo that stands as a pinnacle of automotive achievement, not just for their breathtaking performance and aesthetics, but as symbols of unparalleled personalization in the hypercar domain. "The twins are complete and total perfection that has never been achieved by the automotive world," stated the owner. This sentiment underscores the profound connection between the vehicles, emphasizing their inseparability and shedding light on the emotional and artistic dimensions of hypercar ownership.
As these twins take their place in the annals of automotive lore, they remind us that the pursuit of perfection knows no bounds. With a combined value exceeding €5.2 million, this garage is not just a collection of vehicles but a testament to the boundless possibilities when passion meets innovation.
Automobili Pininfarina has reiterated that the Reversario is a bespoke masterpiece that will not be replicated, making this yin-yang duo a singular vision realized. The passion for pushing the boundaries of design and engineering shines through in this story, marking a monumental chapter in the saga of luxury hypercars.
